I have a feeling they had a huge jump in sales with the holidays, especially with the kindle sold out.

Well, the Sony CES briefing is over. That is the only mention about the reader.
The did announce the Vaio P (a netbook) which has 3G but no word on price. But, I have heard it will be $900 EEK! How can that compete with the $400 EEE touch screen tablet? They have additional briefings on specific areas, so we will see if there are an announcements about readers in the coming days. BOb |

I would love to go and let him stay home except he's the one with the tech job and I'm the unemployed teacher and stay-at-home mom. Besides, I'm not sure he could handle the kids for more than a couple of hours - who knows what I would find when I got home. . . |
